In Mumbai, Sanju Samson is a prominent name in the T20 format. His performances in the IPL and T20 cricket tournaments have garnered attention multiple times.
Despite being dropped on several occasions, his recent selection in the T20 team marks the beginning of his journey towards the World Cup. Notably, he didn’t get a chance against Australia and South Africa, raising questions about his selection.
However, he silenced critics by scoring a century in ODIs. The absence of Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul has also sparked discussions about their places in the team. Ishan Kishan withdrew from the South Africa tour, and Jitesh Sharma is a contender for the T20 World Cup.
With all these considerations, the next five months are crucial for Sanju Samson, and it’s imperative for him to make the most of this opportunity. The fate of Sanju Samson’s T20 World Cup journey will hinge on this series.
After the T20 series, the 17th season of the IPL will commence, with Sanju Samson leading the Rajasthan Royals in this tournament. If Sanju delivers a stellar performance, he will undoubtedly be in contention for the T20 World Cup.
Hence, these two competitions hold immense importance for Sanju Samson. Four wicketkeepers are in the race, and only two of them will be considered in the squad of 15 players. The selection of these two players will now depend on their performance.
